The United Nations Security Council held a minute of silence Friday for victims of the war in Ukraine as Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Russia's invasion had devastated the country.
"Life is a living hell for the people of Ukraine," Mr. Guterres told the council as it met to mark the first anniversary of Moscow's invasion of its neighbour.
"Peace has had no chance. War has ruled the day. The Russian invasion is a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. It has unleashed widespread death, destruction and displacement," he said.
